Pokémon’s Bear Walker collaboration remains one of the best merchandising deals the franchise has done. The (pricey) skateboards are some of the nicest pieces of high-quality merchandise you can find under the Pokémon umbrella. Despite their steep cost, they must be selling well because The Pokémon Company keeps making them. A new line of boards dedicated to some of the powerful “pseudo legendary” Pokémon has just been released, and if you want them, you might want to jump on them pretty quick, as one of them has already sold out.
The four new boards cost $299.99 on the official Pokémon Center website, and feature gorgeous art of Garchomp, Dragonite, Tyranitar, and Dragapult. They’re slightly more expensive than the average Pokémon X Bear Walker board, likely because the Pokémon art is in full color compared to the more minimalist coloring of previous boards. I have the Pikachu one on my wall right now and can attest to their quality. So if you’re a Garchomp, Tyranitar, or Dragapult fan, I recommend these boards. If you’re a Dragonite fan, however, you’ll have to find it elsewhere, as it appears to have sold out already.
Annoyingly enough, the Dragonite boards are showing up on sites like eBay with scalpers asking for more than twice the original price. It is still available on the Pokémon Center’s UK site, however. So if you’re a Dragonite enthusiast across the pond, you might want to grab one quick. Click through to see all four boards in all their glory.
It’s an interesting time to be a Pokémon fan, as details are still trickling out from the recent leak of developer Game Freak’s internal files, which has revealed new information about both old and new projects within the franchise. This includes upcoming games, anime, and even the Netflix live-action series.
